The LORD GOD will feed us like a Shepherd feeding his flock of sheep.

Psalms 23:1 (Amplified Bible)

23:1 A Psalm of David. THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.

Proverbs 15:9 (Amplified Bible)

15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination, extremely disgusting and shamefully vile to the Lord, but He loves him who pursues righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).

GOD's love will make me alive.

Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified Bible)

6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do.

6:11 But we do [strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity [all the way through] in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of [your] hope until the end,

6:12 In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises.

1 Corinthians 15:57-58 (Amplified Bible)

15:57 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].

Our trust is in the LORD GOD only, not in our work, not in our career, not in our boss, not in our savings in the bank, but only in the LORD GOD. We walk righteously and does good things that pleases GOD.

B. Dwell in the land and feed on GOD's faithfulness

"Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness."

Psalms 34:9-10 (Amplified Bible)

34:9 O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.

34:10 The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.

Matthew 6:31-33 (Amplified Bible)

6:31 Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear?

6:32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all.

6:33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

Luke 22:35 (Amplified Bible)

22:35 And He said to them, When I sent you out with no purse or [provision] bag or sandals, did you lack anything? They answered, Nothing!

If you are serving the LORD GOD you will never lack, GOD Himself will provide for You according to His riches in Glory. GOD's faithfulness is more than enough to feed you and your entire family.
